One Night Being a Young Dad

CHAPTER 19

All day Cean just kept silent in the room, somehow feeling uncomfortable and just kept thinking about the little man named Samudra.

Nanda goes into Cean's room to pick up Ocean's clothes. Even Cean only realized that in his room there are personal items Samudra.

"Sorry Cean, Mommy wants to take Sam's shirt." Nanda said and then entered the walk in closet.

"Wouldn't he be able to take it and replace it himself?" Ask Cean.

"Yes, but since you're back, Mommy will be moving Sam's clothes and things little by little into Mommy's room. Sam won't be spending the afternoon here after Uncle Robi retires."

Cean was silent.

"Cean, now what's your plan?" Ask Nanda.

Cean was still silent and did not answer him, his mind suddenly disappeared and all the plans in neatly arranged for six years arrived just collapsed.

"Cean, are you going to take over the company first or divorce Nadlyn first?" Nanda asked which made Cean instantly stare at Mommy's shady face.

"Why?" Ask Nanda who was looked at strangely by Cean.

"Where's Nadlyn, Mom?" Ask Cean.

"Nadlyn works."

"Work what? Was Nadlyn so short of money that she had to work?"

Nanda gave his breath, wrong yes himself too indulgent this son. "Nadlyn is working for the future of the Ocean."

"Didn't Uncle Robi have wealth? Even in retirement later Uncle got a 30% stake from the late Opa because of his high dedication? I think it's possible to bear his future."

"Cean, I don't know what Mommy's wrong in educating you. What is clear is that the mind of the Ocean is more mature than you." Nanda took a deep breath and exhaled it violently. "Samudra is Nadlyn's responsibility, Nadlyn is a single parent who is responsible for her son. Nadlyn did not think of treasures, he only wanted the Ocean to grow and develop by his own income. Even when Daddy and Mommy would help him, Nadlyn refused."

Cean's heart suddenly did not accept by hearing the words of Nanda who said that Nadlyn was a single parent.

"I will bear his future." Cean's word arrived.

"Nadlyn will reject it." Reply Nanda.

"Nadlyn has no right to refuse."

Nanda looked at Cean's face, "Nadlyn had the right to reject him because Samudra was his son, only his son." Press Nanda.

"But he too....." Cean's speech was cut off because Nanda cut it off.

"What?" Nanda asked fiercely. "He's your son too?" Guess Nanda who then smiled cynically. "You admit? Don't you remember if when the Ocean was still in Nadlyn's womb, you didn't want it and with his bedjat you instead told Nadlyn to scrape it." Nanda started sobbing. Disappointed in his son he could no longer bear it. "You have heart, Cean. How could you think of eliminating your own flesh and blood, descendants of Mommy."

"Mom..."

"Do you not know, Cean? Every time I look into the ocean's eyes, Mommy is always guilty."

Cean immediately hugged Nanda, while Nanda just resigned as she vented her hidden heart for six years.

**

Samudra was picked up by Pras. Nanda is forced to ask Pras to pick up Samudra because after having vented his heart and annoyance at Cean made Nanda's high blood relapse and Nanda almost fainted.

As usual Samudra changed his clothes in Cean's room because Nanda had not had time to move it.

Samudra entered the walk in closet and changed his clothes there, the little boy aged almost six years did have an independent attitude and not spoiled. Even Samudra looks more mature than the age of their peers.

The ocean tidied up her bag and put her dirty uniform in the basket. All the movements of the Ocean did not escape from the Ocean's watch.

"Have you eaten?" Ask Cean.

The ocean shook her head, "Not yet, Nanny hasn't prepared food for me."

"Do I bother Uncle?" Ask Sam. "I'll take a nap in the other room if Uncle gets distracted."

"No." Answer Cean quickly.

I don't know why Cean would not be willing if the Ocean left his room.

"Sleep in my bed." Cean.

"Then Uncle?"

"I don't usually take naps, I'm not a kid."

The ocean rises to the bed.

"Why not sleep?" Ask Cean who still sees the Ocean sitting leaning on top of the bed.

"I'm waiting for Mommy."

"Grandfather told me, Mommy's gonna pick me up here in the afternoon. I'm afraid that if I take a nap, Mommy will leave me at Grandpa's house alone."

Cean narrowed his eyes. "Can't your Mommy wait for you to wake up?"

The ocean shook her head, "Mommy doesn't like to linger long at Oma's house, Mommy just picks me up then we go home, if I'm sleeping then Mommy will leave me and I'll come home to pick up Papi or by Grandpa." Answer the Ocean like an adult.

"Do you prefer it here or at your Grandpa's?" Ask Cean who unconsciously now sits on the edge of his bed.

The ocean seemed to think. "I love living anywhere, being with Mommy."

"How old are you?" Ask Cean.

"Four months, I'll be six years."

"Are you going to celebrate your birthday?"

"No, I don't like celebrating birthdays."

"Why?" Ask Cean to know more.

"Because Mommy always cries on my birthday. And I don't like to see Mommy cry."

Cean was silent, his heart asked, why Nadlyn became more frequent crying, when in the past Nadlyn was a cheerful child even though he grew up without a mother.

Stupid Cean still doesn't realize it was him who ruined Nadlyn's happiness.

"Why is your Mommy crying on your birthday?" Ask Cean in-depth.

The ocean shakes her shoulders, "Maybe because Mommy remembers Daddy who left us."

Deggs.. Deggs.. Degg

Like a slap right on Cean's cheek.

"Daddy?" Ask Cean again.

"Grandpa said I had a Daddy and Daddy leave me and Mommy."

"So you know if you have Daddy?"

Ocean nodded.

"What do you know about your Daddy?"

The ocean stared into Cean's eyes. "I don't know. And I don't want to know even though I really want to know."

"Why?"

Geck.. Geck.. Geckos,

Someone's knocking on Cean's room door.

Cean sighed then walked towards the door.

"Sorry, young master." Said a woman in a nun's uniform.

"Kissy.." Call the Ocean that follows.

"Den Samudra, there's Mommy already picked up." Nanny said.

"Well Nanny, tell me Mommy wait a minute, Sam's gonna grab Sam's bag first." Said Ocean meanwhile Cean just froze.

This is the first time in six years that Cean and Nadlyn are in one place, despite not seeing each other.

"Excuse me Uncle, I'll go home first." Say the Ocean with respect.

But the Ocean held back his steps and stared fixedly at Cean's face, "Mommy told me my Daddy was in a country above the clouds, very far from here, Daddy doesn't want to go home because it's more beautiful than it is here." The word Samudra then left Cean still sculpting.

Cean felt his heart continue to beat rapidly, with wide strides he overtook the already descending Ocean.

His eyes narrowed when he saw Nadlyn with a different look. No longer long hair, since pregnant until the Ocean is almost six years old, Nadlyn prefers short shoulder-length hair.

"Nadly...." Call Cean with a soft but audible by Nadlyn.

Nadlyn turned to the source of the voice. The voice he longs for and the voice he hates.

"Ocean...."
